here_o speak_v of_o mercy_n &_o justice_n for_o what_o mercy_n be_v it_o that_o man_n shall_v live_v so_o short_a a_o time_n and_o lead_v his_o corporal_a life_n afflict_v with_o so_o many_o misery_n without_o any_o expectation_n of_o happiness_n for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v or_o what_o pleasure_n can_v this_o life_n afford_v which_o be_v mix_v with_o such_o store_n of_o worm_n wood_n as_o that_o to_o a_o prudent_a man_n it_o seem_v most_o bitter_a except_o the_o sweetness_n of_o a_o future_a expectance_n do_v temper_v it_o or_o what_o equity_n &_o justice_n be_v it_o that_o good_a man_n shall_v be_v oppress_v afflict_a &_o murder_v by_o the_o wicked_a without_o any_o revenge_n or_o recompensation_n of_o so_o great_a and_o insufferable_a wrong_n that_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o

not_o repute_v they_o rather_o sign_n of_o cruelty_n and_o injustice_n then_o of_o mercy_n and_o justice_n and_o that_o the_o divine_a power_n be_v a_o favourer_n of_o the_o wicked_a and_o a_o enemy_n

heathen_n who_o think_v little_a of_o any_o retribution_n after_o this_o life_n do_v often_o accuse_v the_o god_n of_o cruelty_n &_o injustice_n of_o which_o point_n many_o example_n be_v extant_a in_o homer_n euripides_n athan●us_n and_o other_o yea_o such_o a_o cogitation_n will_v enter_v into_o the_o mind_n of_o some_o christian_n while_o they_o do_v not_o cast_v their_o eye_n of_o thing_n to_o come_v after_o this_o life_n and_o certain_o if_o nothing_o be_v to_o chance_v to_o the_o soul_n after_o its_o separation_n from_o the_o body_n it_o be_v not_o a_o easy_a matter_n to_o

facinorous_a crime_n but_o that_o the_o wicked_a shall_v perpetrate_v any_o mischief_n though_o never_o so_o heinous_a without_o any_o fear_n of_o law_n or_o feel_v of_o any_o due_a punishment_n or_o

life_n shall_v be_v allot_v his_o place_n state_n and_o degree_n and_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o just_a retribution_n for_o all_o action_n whatsoever_o there_o no_o evil_a shall_v remain_v unrevenged_a nor_o good_a irremunerate_v and_o unrewarded_a for_o as_o a_o skilful_a painter_n be_v not_o ignorant_a in_o what_o place_n he_o be_v to_o put_v each_o particular_a colour_n as_o black_a white_z &_o
